This place is stones throw from Knotts Berry Farm.
With a very nice sweet Grandpa running this place.
Versus Seoul Do Soon Yi in Garden Grove, this place takes card!!! The kimchi is just as good and dank as them BUT they have more variety and more interesting things.
I grabbed some goodies. My big mistake is not getting the “Special Kimchi”!! Which the Grandpa told me it has oysters, shrimp, chestnuts, and pine nuts!
I’ll have to update this thread in a few weeks to see how deep and dank the kimchi gets.
They also have Leek Kimchi. You know that stuff in Chinese and Korean dumplings that gives you some epic burps. The only rival in post eating burps would be those damn Costco hot dogs.
This is in their banchan section. Holy hell this is soooo damn good and dank. There is a spice kick, then you get bite of the ocean from the oysters. Some cucumbers are also in the mix.
Yuk Dae Jang sells their kimchi by the half gallon for $9.99. Easily one of the best in town, the kimchi is actually imported from Korea. (We’re talking the sour, not sweet kind.)
My in laws bought 3 of the big jars of the cut cabbage kim chee to hold them over. They are only 2 in the house. Going to raid their kim chee in about 4-6 weeks when that stuff is perfect for kim chee fried rice and stews.
Not yet! We don’t get out to the SGV that often, but thanks for the reminder.
We have been trying a variety of different kimchis from Tokyo Central, Miraku Kimchi, H Mart, and California Mart over the past few months. Of the ones we tried, I really like the California Mart kimchi. It has the less sour, more sweet character that I like.
Hui Tou threw some kimchi in our last order because it was a little delayed for pickup. Awesome stuff! The back explains it’s a less fermented, slightly sweetish version from the border of China and Korea.
I’ve really been enjoying the different kimchi from California Market recently. They have a whole banchan deli area with a wide array of options in all sizes. I have been munching on the radish (cubed), baby radish (whole), cabbage (not napa), and spring onion recently.
The kimchi is on the fresher/sweeter side and is packed with shellfish flavor.
Is the last pic an Oyster dish that you can order, or is it a type of Kimchi that has Oysters & Cucumbers in it? Thanks.
